Why a Retreat?

A question often arises about the utility of these retreats for those who have already attended the 2-month LMKHealth course. My experience has shown that only 25% of people comply with the recommendations of the course and successfully get off all medications for lifestyle diseases. Others seem to struggle and remain on medications. This can be due to confusion or a lack of motivation. Our experience has shown that attending a retreat helps you successfully get off medications. This happens for several reasons as outlined below:

1. One-on-one exchanges provide opportunities to clarify all doubts.
2. Listening to other people's experiences reinforces the teachings and helps create the conviction that all medications for lifestyle diseases can be successfully dropped within a few weeks or months.
3. The taste of the food gives confidence that it can be sustained easily for a few months until one gets off medications. After successfully getting off medications, some allowances are permitted making cooking easier.
4. The juice, nut-milk, and cooking demonstrations help acquire the necessary skills to make food at home.
5. Many new friendships are formed during the retreat and turn into a support group, making it easier to continue practicing PBWF/IF/10K and form new habits.

Since COVID, over 50 retreats and workshops have been held worldwide. All were well-subscribed, and all groups are still active and continue to engage in local support activities. Many are hosting potluck picnics and walkathons and influencing local restaurants to include some PBWF choices on their menus.

These retreats are initiated by the efforts of local members. Seeing a retreat come to fruition and then continuing activities is a very rewarding experience, as reported by all who have been involved.
